hi..

i was stored time details into database table mentioned below
Id duration

1 0 hrs, 0 min, 7 sec
2 0 hrs, 0 min, 26 sec
1 0 hrs, 1 min, 37 sec
1 0 hrs, 0 min, 39 sec


here i want to calculate the total time based on "ID".


i was storing the time details as string.

i want to split those time(because its like 0 hrs, 0 min, 21 sec,0 hrs, 0 min, 12 sec)
values and calculate those values in to total time through sql query itself.

is it possible.


What is the efficient way to do this.

need ur suggestions with examples

Its possible. Following example demonstrates the timespan for Date data type. In your case, please cov=nvert your string data into date type (with CONVERT or CAST)
SELECT
ID,
Hours= (TotalSeconds / 3600),
Minutes=(TotalSeconds % 3600) / 60) ,
Seconds= (TotalSeconds % 60 )
from
(
select ID, DateDiff(second, StartDate, EndDate) as TotalSeconds
from Events
)
Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can use this function, first you need to calculate total seconds like ((hrs*3600)+(mins*60)+secs) and pass to this function.
Refer:http://sqlserverbuddy.blogspot.com/2011/06/hour-minute-second-between-two-date.html

Create Function dbo.UFN_HourMinuteSecond

(
@Seconds BigInt
) Returns Varchar(10)
As
Begin

Declare
@Minute Int,
@Hour Int,
@Elapsed Varchar(10)

If @Seconds >= 60
Begin
select @Minute = @Seconds/60
select @Seconds = @Seconds%60

If @Minute >= 60
begin
select @hour = @Minute/60
select @Minute = @Minute%60
end

Else
Goto Final
End

Final:
Select @Hour = Isnull(@Hour,0), @Minute = IsNull(@Minute,0), @Seconds = IsNull(@Seconds,0)
select @Elapsed = Cast(@Hour as Varchar) + ':' + Cast(@Minute as Varchar) + ':' + Cast(@Seconds as Varchar)

Return (@Elapsed)
End
)


Kind Regards,
Jay

Hi,

chk whether you are storing all time in same fashion and then you can use SUBSTRING function to take part of hrs,mins and secs and then cast it to int

(For substing)
